Modern analogy likes to compare computer memory to that of the brain ... used cutting-edge microscopy technology in living ...

While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous ... actively monitor the hair-like cilia that extend out of nematode dendrites, so that the glial cells can respond to injuries and prevent ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

Glia (light green) respond to the loss of dendrite cilia (dark pink) by accumulating excess extracellular matrix (dark green). Neurons may get all the ...

Audiovisualization of SCAPE microscopy data capturing calcium activity in apical dendrites in the awake mouse brain. “Movies” with color and music visualize brain activity data in beautiful ...

One of the brain's most celebrated qualities ... signals from other cells are called dendrites, and they branch of from the ...

A breakthrough study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells ... in distant dendrites that extend like branches from the trunk of a tree.

While brain ... tree of life For the study, the team used CRISPR to engineer nematodes with disrupted cilia or altered glial responses, and then tracked glia in-action using fluorescence microscopy.
